Description

Beef intestines are used as casings for sausages, but quite often the intestines and the stomach, or tripe, are cooked for use in a number of dishes, such as menudo, trippa alla fiorentina, soups and stews. Cooking the intestines slowly produces a flavorful broth and a meat with a soft, chewy texture. Wrapping your mind around the idea of eating a cow’s intestines might take a bit of work, but once you can push past the mental picture of what you are about to ingest, the flavors produced by the tripe should banish the unpleasant images, allowing you to savor the dish.
